Currently Plainbox has no graphical user interface. To use it you need
to use the command line.

Plainbox has built-in help system so running plainbox run --help
will give you instant information about all the various arguments and options
that are available. This document is not intended to replace that.

Plainbox has no concept of job categories but you can simulate that by
running all jobs that follow a specific naming pattern. For example, to run
all of the USB tests you can run the following command:

Anything that Plainbox captures and stores during test execution can be
exported to a file using the exporter system. The two most commonly used
exporters are JSON (versatile and general) and XML (for internal Canonical use).

Exporters can be provided by third party packages. Exporters are very simple to
write. If you don’t want to transform JSON to your preferred format, you can
copy the json exporter and use it as template for writing your own.
